In this thrilling episode, the lads from TheStraightPipes take the 2025 Genesis GV80 Coupe for a spin, eager to test its mettle. With a powerful twin-turbo 3.5L V6 engine churning out 409 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque, the team braces for a wild ride. But as they engage the launch control, doubts creep in - is it any different from a regular GV80's brake boosting? The distinctive flat-bottom steering wheel and Sport Plus mode add a touch of flair, but does it truly elevate the coupe's sportiness?

Despite marketing claims, the team finds themselves questioning the coupe's true performance enhancements. While the exterior exudes a bold aesthetic with its aggressive front grille and unique wheels, the driving experience leaves them yearning for more. The handling is decent, thanks to retuned suspension, but falls short of the German competition's standard. The interior, boasting a massive OLED screen and reclining back seats, impresses with its luxury features, yet the lack of proper massage seats is a glaring omission.

As they put the GV80 Coupe through its paces, the team delves into the driving dynamics, acceleration, and comfort levels. The highway driving assist system earns high praise for its seamless operation, while the D-shaped steering wheel adds a sporty touch. However, the absence of a proper massage function leaves them wanting more from this luxury offering. Despite its shortcomings, the Genesis GV80 Coupe stands out with its unique design elements and impressive technology, making it a compelling option in the competitive luxury SUV segment.
